Qarib: who created the seven heavens, one above the other. You cannot see any inconsistency in the creation of the Merciful. Return your gaze, do you see any crack!
Sarwar: It is He who has created seven heavens, one above the other. You can see no flaw in the creation of the Beneficent God. Look again. Can you see faults?
Shakir: Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; then look again, can you see any disorder?
Pickthall: Who hath created seven heavens in harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts?
Yusufali: He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?

Qarib: Then return your gaze once more and yet again, your gaze comes back to you dazzled, and tired.
Sarwar: Look twice (and keep on looking), your eyes will only become dull and tired.

Qarib: When they are cast into it they shall hear it sighing, while it boils
Sarwar: When they are thrown into hell, they will hear its roaring while it boils.
Shakir: When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear a loud moaning of it as it heaves,
Pickthall: When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,
Yusufali: When they are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even as it blazes forth,

Qarib: nearly bursting apart out of rage. Every time a host is cast therein, its keepers will ask them: 'Did no one come to warn you? '
Sarwar: It almost explodes in rage. Whenever a group is thrown into it, its keepers will ask them, "Did no one come to warn you?"
Shakir: Almost bursting for fury. Whenever a group is cast into it, its keeper shall ask them: Did there not come to you a warner?
Pickthall: As it would burst with rage. Whenever a (fresh) host is flung therein the wardens thereof ask them: Came there unto you no warner?
Yusufali: Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, "Did no Warner come to you?"

Qarib: 'Yes, indeed' they will reply, 'but we belied the Warner (Messenger) saying: 'Allah has not sent down anything, you are but in great error! '
Sarwar: They will say, "Yes, someone did come to warn us, but we rejected him saying, 'God has revealed nothing. You are in great error".
Shakir: They shall say: Yea! indeed there came to us a warner, but we rejected (him) and said: Allah has not revealed anything, you are only in a great error
Pickthall: They say: Yea, verily, a warner came unto us; but we denied and said: Allah hath naught revealed; ye are in naught but a great error.
Yusufali: They will say: "Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, 'Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are nothing but an egregious delusion!'"

Qarib: And they will then say: 'If only we had listened and understood we should not now be among the inhabitants of the Blaze. '
Sarwar: They will also say, "Had We listened or used our minds, we would not have become the dwellers of hell".
Shakir: And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire

Qarib: So it is that they confess their sins. Curse the inhabitants of the Blaze!
Sarwar: They will confess to their sins, but the dwellers of hell will be far away from God's (mercy).
Shakir: So they shall acknowledge their sins, but far will be (forgiveness) from the inmates of the burning fire
Pickthall: So they acknowledge their sins; but far removed (from mercy) are the dwellers in the flames.
Yusufali: They will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the Blazing Fire!

Yusufali: And whether ye hide your word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge, of the secrets of (all) hearts.

Qarib: Shall He who has created (all things) not know? He is the Subtle, the Aware.
Sarwar: Does the One Who is Subtle, All-aware, and Who created all things not know all about them?
Shakir: Does He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware

Qarib: Do you feel secure that He who is in the heaven will not loose against you a squall of pebbles then you shall know how was My warning.
Sarwar: Do you feel secure that the One in the heavens will not strike you with a sandstorm? You will soon know, with the coming of the torment, how serious Our warning was.
Shakir: Or are you secure of those in the heaven that He should not send down upon you a punishment? Then shall you know how was My warning
Pickthall: Or have ye taken security from Him Who is in the heaven that He will not let loose on you a hurricane? But ye shall know the manner of My warning.
Yusufali: Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?

Qarib: Those who have gone before you also belied (their Messengers) then how was My disapproval!
Sarwar: Those who lived before them had also rejected Our warning, and how terrible was Our retribution!
Shakir: And certainly those before them rejected (the truth), then how was My disapproval

Yusufali: Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.

Qarib: Or, who is it that shall be your host to help you, other than the Merciful? Indeed, the unbelievers are only deluded.
Sarwar: Do you have any armies who will help you against the Beneficent God? The disbelievers are certainly deceived (by satan).
Shakir: Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent Allah? The unbelievers are only in deception
Pickthall: Or who is he that will be an army unto you to help you instead of the Beneficent? The disbelievers are in naught but illusion.
Yusufali: Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.

Shakir: What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?
Pickthall: Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road?
Yusufali: Is then one who walks headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one who walks evenly on a Straight Way?

Qarib: Say: 'It is He who has created you and given to you hearing, sight and hearts but little is it that you thank'
Sarwar: (Muhammad), say, "It is God who has brought you into being and made ears, eyes, and hearts for you, but you give very little thanks".
Shakir: Say: He it is Who brought you into being and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts: little is it that you give thanks
Pickthall: Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He it is who gave you being, and hath assigned unto you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
Yusufali: Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.

Sarwar: When they see the torment approaching, the faces of the disbelievers will blacken and they will be told, "This is what you wanted to (experience)".
Shakir: But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry, and it shall be said; This is that which you used to call for
Pickthall: But when they see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve will be awry, and it will be said (unto them): This is that for which ye used to call.

Sarwar: (Muhammad), say, "Have you not considered that regardless whether God forgives me and my followers or grants us mercy, but who will protect the disbelievers from a painful torment?
Shakir: Say: Have you considered if Allah should destroy me and those with me-- rather He will have mercy on us; yet who will protect the unbelievers from a painful punishment?
Pickthall: Say (O Muhammad): Have ye thought: Whether Allah causeth me (Muhammad) and those with me to perish or hath mercy on us, still, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful doom?
Yusufali: Say: "See ye?- If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"

Qarib: Say: 'He is the Merciful. In Him we believe and in Him we put all our trust. Indeed, you shall soon know who is in clear error. '
Sarwar: Say, "He is the Beneficent One in whom we have faith and trust. You will soon know who is in manifest error".
Shakir: Say: He is the Beneficent Allah, we believe in Him and on Him do we rely, so you shall come to know who it is that is in clear error
Pickthall: Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.
